Formerly known as "Shisun Tan" (Shisun Shoal) and "Shisun Li" (Shisun Village), Xinchang was formed as land in the Tang Dynasty and established as a town in the Song Dynasty, with a history of nearly 1,300 years. It derived its name from the relocation of Xiasha Salt Field to the south and the construction of a "new salt field" there.

Rich in intangible cultural heritage, the town is home to national - level intangible cultural heritage items such as Gonggu Shu (Gong and Drum Storytelling) and Pudong - style Pipa Art. It has been awarded titles including "Chinese Historical and Cultural Town", "Hometown of Chinese Folk Culture and Art" and "National Characteristic Town".
